Real-time monitoring of sentiment in business related Wikipedia articles

Finn Årup Nielsen, Michael Etter, Lars Kai Hansen

Abstract

We present an online service with real-time monitoring of Wikipedia pages for companies and detects sentiment with respect to the edits, the companies and editors. It monitors the IRC stream, detects company-related articles using a small hand-built list and performs sentiment analysis using a sentiment-annotated word list. The system generates a report that can be emailed to users.
